Finally, we wish all a happy and prosperous New Year, free from returning boards and false counts, una disasters to hopes and ambitions that.impede our success in the great battle of life. s , . The planters in the upper part of the county who intended to?refuse employvent or rent land to the colored men who Toted the republican ticket are considerwhether it is to their interest to deprirt themselves of labor the coming pw ea this ground. Several have concluded to let their tenants remain and ( tthaw are awaiting the issue iu Columbia before pnttiag the proscription poliey in fovea. Nothing, in our opinion, can be geieefl by driving labor away from plantations that are not now half tilled, and nay sensible man will be slow to depopulate his lands that untenanted are almost Worthless, far opiuiou's sake. If the thieve* and rogues that infest the ceunlay eeuld be weeded out it would be a blessing, but faithful, honest laborers are caret enough even in Beaufort County. 7^ Tai Presidential question has settled down to only one disputed State?Louisiana. Tb* report of Vne Congressional coin* mi (tee (o this State that the Hayes and Wheeler electors were fairly elected in jr this State, will pat a stop to any further . claims by the Democratic electors. In Florida the canvassing board under a ^ mandate of the Supreme Court, has just reennvaasod the vote and by admitting come of the votes thrown out at the first oust have given the State to the Demo omu, but still return the Republican electors. la Louisiana both the Senate and Coagrnasional committees are hard at work, not only examining witnesses but rutting the?parisho3 where fraud and intimidation was charged. The men oompodiug the Congressional committee are .??? yhosc word will oarry great weight, and their report when made will go far towards convincing men of both political parties that their conclusions are just. As yet there are no indications as to their conclusion*. W. W. Sellers Esq. Solicitor of the fourth circuit'has given an opinion that the election "of county officers, whose election is claimed by sonic as having boon invalid as the law provides for their election in^October, is go# i and lawful and that they are entitfed to the offices to which they wereyalected od the 7th k Novtmbtr. OoJ./McIver on the other hand gives his qfunion that the election pj on that day wis uulawful and that the # iaeuKhea^t' the clerk's office will be liahljRfa His bond should he turn over BHflflffToAce to the candidate elected Nov. ^Kth. The question will have to be dceided by the courts, but in the raeantiiue the newly-elected clerks and Judges of Probat# are daily losing their ^.fees, arid can see ia the actions of the incumbents W in hoMiag on the evil effects of a multiW ^ tude of eoun^l io which there seems to Vv ; be a lack <?f haruiony it not of wisdom. i ... i pm A German suggests tha w ome neutral territory b* set aside bv the European Powers ??* 1" devoted entirely to blixxlf* sited.

Mb. b orb'.n, counsel for the Hayes elec- J tors, declined last Friday to proceed further in the quo worranto case in the supreme court. lie asserted that the case was transferred to the United States circuit court as soon as the petition was filed, and that he could no longer recognize the jurisdiction of the stat? court. A special term of the United States circuit court will be held at an early day in Charleston, and the record will be carried to that court. It is estimated that the crop of sugar, rice and cotton produced this year in Louisiana will aggregate a larger amount to the acreage cultivated than was ever before raised* in the State. Cut despite this favorable condition of agriculture, the people were never, says the Democrat, so iuiiKtverished, nor was there ever so large a number of unemployed persons. This anamalous condition of affairs is due to the want of good government, of confidence among capitalists and the burdens of multiform taxation. ? An arrangement has been made under which Peter B. Sweeny is to return from Paris to New York as a witness in the $7,000,000 suit against Tweed. The con ditiou is that no- proceeding, civil or criminal, shall be begun against Sweeny i - w:, v??i- it ?!?n UUMUg UiS SlilJ' 1U Xvik. ??. io announced that A. E.

On last Wednesday morning at about one o'clock the big ship Harvey Mills lying at auchor was discovered by the men on watch to be on fire. The ships bells were runs: and in a short time the U. S. S. Sea Weed came alongside with a force of sailors from the fleet, and did everything possible to extinguish the fire. Extinguishers were used but all efforts were fruitless because of tbe difficulty to find the exact location. On Thursday at daylight, such assistance as could be had was sent from Port Royaj to the ship, and telegrams to Beaufort caused the Steamer Agnes to proceed to the ship and upon her arrival began the work of pumping the burning ship full of water. At noon the Washington Steam Engine of this place was taken to Port Royal where it was expected the Harvey Mills would be brought, but owing to the bad weather the ship proved to be quite unmanageable. The Huntsville which arrived at Port Royal in the morning also went to the ship and remained until dark pumping water j >' j and endeavoring to pun uie muj? iUUi I deep water, but ending in failure, and at about six o'clock left the ship and came back to the dock at Port Royal. A special train was obtained at dark which conveyed the Steam Fire Engine to Beaufort where it was put ufittn a large lighter and towed down to the ship by the Steamer Pilot Boy and immediately went to work, putting three large streams of water into the Harvey Mills which with the assistance of the Sea Weed aid Agnes had been put into the channel and was under way for Port Royal when the Pilot Boy put out a j hauser and assisted in?towing the ship to the dock, after which the U. S. S. Huron came up and altogether the steamers were enabled to keep the fire under control. The Pilot Boy and Hnntsville were kept bu\v until they were obliged to leave to make their regular trips leaviug the Agnes and the Beaufort steam fire engine at work, and they aro still engaged in pouring water on the fire which seems to be now under con fro!, although the fire still exists in th9 cotton underneath the water. The ship i.-> lull of ^Htcr and lies in a very danger" i ous position and there is danger of her back bejng broken. Some ot the eoUon nas been taken out badly burned but. as j the f.re seems to be confined to the stern of the vessel the greater portion will be damaged only by water. The ship is cut to pieces in the after part and the elegant cabin presents a soivy sight, ( filled with water and burned cotton j The underwriters have visited her an 1 Jail further action is supposed to beMn-; der their direction.

The amount of money'being constantly ^-v sent away from Beaufort, either to the ] ^ north or adjacent cities for thejpureha.-e 1 of a great variety of necessities is a sub- j s* ject of sufficient importance to warrant ,r the serious consideration of every mer" u chant in this place.

Store Railroad near Ashta1 ula, ti Ohio last Friday aight about eight h o'clock. The train was known as the tl Pacific express. It con?istcd of six C coaches, two drawing room cars, with the p usual express and baggage cars, and two ol engines.

CI ltuuaiu iciaii'd ujai UK? uaiu was running at slow rate, aDd just as fi they had fairly crossed the high bridge ai which is not mote than forty rods distant b! from the depot, he felt a violent jar, and ai in an instant the coupling between the 01 two engines had broken, and the whole ol train was precipitated with the bridge ci into the river below. MeGuire says that his euginc was pulled back nearly to the w edge of the broken'span before the coup- tl ling severed, and it regained its forward C( motion barely in time to savo itself. The bridge over the Iliver was an iron p truss bridge, and had been in use about tr eleven years. The span is about oue la hundred feet long, and through the space between flows the river, about four <p or five feat deep, at this ti i.c thickly uo covered withjice. Into this space were se the eleven ears andtone engine and ten- it der precipitated. TJic fall of sixty feet, a of course breaking the icy covering, G shivered the cars as if a magazine of I nitro-glvcerine bad exploded beneath s( theui. The seven passenger coaches altogether contained about 165 adults, besides a number of children. In the drawing room car, which was bound fi r ^ Cleveland, were nine persons, all of whom are supposed to have perished by drowning or fire. In the two sleepers. bound for Chicago, there were thirty-five ^ passengers. Most of those in the for- N ward car are saved, with injuries more or less severe. \\ ithin a very few moments after the crash the flames burst out sim- '' ultancously from nearly every car. The !" latest statement gives sixty wounded and one hundred killed. Two Logislattires in Session in Loitisi- st ana. u New Ori,f.an"5, January 1.?The Re- c< publicans assembled early to-day at the f( Statehouse, and the Democrats appeared u at noon wit'\ eontes ants, and demanded 11 the removal of the police and barricades, ti The demand was refused and the Demo- it crats protested and all withdrew to St. tl Patrick's Hall. The Republican body t; organized electing Michael llahn speaker, a The House has flft}*-three members. War- T mouth has sixteen adherents and the b Senate has nineteen members making a fl full quorum. The Democratic House also organized and elected Louis Bush speaker. It has a working quorum. The Senate chose Mr. Ogden for president. The two Legislatures are now in good working order and there is no excitement. Mr. Simon Cameron has made his ap- ? pcaranee in a new character. The ne- ' groes of Hilton Head have named a ^ chapel in his honor " Saint Simon's co Chapel. " This is the way in which M the " Pennsylvania fox " became canonized : In the Spring of 18f>5, just after the close of the war, a number of Senators, members of the Cabinet and other ^ Government officials made a visit t> Hi!- * ton Head, and Simon Cameron was one of the party. On Sunday they attended a negro church, and after the sermon the m:nister made an appeal for money to J1 - - , O pay a debt of about $300 on the chap- L el. Cameron became greatly interested f; and proposed to the Wa>.hingtonians to n raise the money, he himself contributing ^ the largest share. This was done, and pi the negroes in gra'itudccalled the church L St. Simon's Chapel.?N. Y.

Hampton's Letter to Gov. Hayes Judge Mackey visited Gov. Hayes, at oluuibus, Ohio, last Friday and spent ie evening in his company. He was \2 bearer of the following letter from I en. Hampton to Gov. Hayes, a similar ic having been sent to Gov. Tilden : j My Dear Sir : I have the honor to lclose a copy of my inaugural as the duelccted Governor of South Carolina, i view of the present events, and the ftcial sanction given to gross misrepre?ntations of the acts an J purposes of the lajority of the g<xxl people of this Comlonweulfh. I deem it proj?cr to declare i.Ht profound peace prevails throughout te State ; that the course of judicial roceedings is obstructed bv no corobina on of citizens thereof, and that the laws >r the protection of the inhabitants, in 11 the rights of person, property and itizensliip are being euforced iu our jurts. While the people of this State are not anting in either the spirit or the means ) maintain their right ef citizenship gainst the usurping power which now cfics the supreme judicial authority of ic State, they have such faith in the istice of their cause that they propose to >ave its vindication to the proper legal ibunals, appealing, at the same time, ) the patriotism and public sentiment f the whole country. The inflammatory utterances of a roron of the public press renders it, pcraps, not inopportune for me to state lat. although the people in South arolina view with grave, concern the resent critical conjuncture in the affairs four country, which threatens to sub;ct to an extreme test the Republican rstem of government itself, it is their rm and deliberate purpose to condemn ay solution of the existing political prolens that involves the exhibition of rmed force, or that moves through any ther channel than the prescribed form [ the constitution or the peaceful agenes of law.

The custom of decoration, first in the [lurches and subsequently in the homes f christian people, it is supposed was in odueed by the Druids, at some unknown eriod, and this has been almost univerilly adopted by the Christian church ad people, spreading from Germany to Ingland and among the Saxon and Celtic ices throughout Christendom. The leend of the mystic parasite, the mistletoe ough, was practised by the ancient Prims accompanied by their priests, the >rnids; and that of the famous Yule log :ill practised to sonx? extent in England, a> derived from their Scandinavian anj?tors. The mistletoe hough is also a ?aturc in the English festivities of Chris tlas at tlie present day. As an aceompaniitmt of the Yule log. a candle of rnons ous size, called the Yule candle, shed s light over the festive board during lie evening.
